[PRL] Fwd: JFP Special Issue on Generic Programming

Please submit to this special issue which includes topics such as:

adaptive object-oriented programming,
aspect-oriented programming,
...
programming with modules

At Oxford they have an active group in GP with Gibbons and Hinze.
Oliveira recently completed his PhD at Oxford on a topic closely
related to DemeterF. Fortunately, Bryan Chadwick's Multi-Method
Visitor pattern already had solved the same problem as the Oxford
dissertation, but in a better way.

Dear Karl,

the Journal of Functional Programming hosts a Special Issue on Generic
Programming. The special issue is an outgrowth of the series of
Workshops on Generic Programming. As you served on the PC of the 2006
instance, I thought you might be interested in the CFP, which I've
appended below. May I ask you to forward the CFP to interested
students and colleagues? Of course, if you have something interesting
in the pipeline, please consider submitting to the Special Issue.

Many thanks in advance, Ralf

                            OPEN CALL FOR PAPERS

                  JFP Special Issue on Generic Programming

                          Deadline: 1 October 2009

             http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/ralf.hinze/JFP/cfp.html

Scope
-----

Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making
them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds
of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably
instantiating their parameters. In contrast to normal programs, the
parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for
example they may be other programs, types or type constructors,
classes, concepts, or even programming paradigms.

This special issue aims at documenting state-of-the-art research, new
developments and directions for future investigation in the broad
field of Generic Programming. It is an outgrowth of the series of
Workshops on Generic Programming, which started in 1998 and which
continues this year with an ICFP affiliated workshop in
Edinburgh. Participants of the workshops are invited to submit a
suitably revised and expanded version of their paper to the special
issue. The call for papers is, however, open. Other contributions are
equally welcome and are, indeed, encouraged. All submitted papers will
be subjected to the same quality criteria, meeting the standards of
the Journal of Functional Programming.

The special issue seeks original contributions on all aspects of
generic programming including but not limited to

   o adaptive object-oriented programming,
   o aspect-oriented programming,
   o case studies,
   o concepts (as in the STL/C++ sense),
   o component-based programming,
   o datatype-generic programming,
   o generic programming with dependent types,
   o meta-programming,
   o polytypic programming, and
   o programming with modules.

Submission details
------------------

Manuscripts should be unpublished works and not submitted elsewhere.
Revised versions of papers published in conference or workshop
proceedings that have not appeared in archival journals are eligible
for submission.

   Deadline for submission:                   1 October 2009
   Notification of acceptance or rejection:  15 January 2010
   Revised version due:                      15 March   2010
